Abstract

Globally Tuberculosis (TB) and RR/MDR TB are among predominant public health problems and major cause of morbidity and mortality specially across many Asian and African countries. High number of missing TB cases, early detection of TB and early Drug Susceptibility Testing (DST) based appropriate treatment initiation also remains a challenge in many low to high burden TB countries.
